[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 304888, member: 3907"] Mattsmom, I'm so sorry to hear that your doctor is being such a Richard Cranium. I suspect that with the severe doctor shortage, people are afraid to complain about unethical behaviour like this on the part of their doctor, because they don't want to be dropped either. My sister in law maintains her family doctor in my town, even though she has lived 4 hours away for the past 7 years, just to ensure that she has a doctor. There are none available where she lives. Is there any chance of you doing something like that? Finding a doctor in a bigger town or city that's not too far from where you are? Is there any mileage in finding a doctor closer to your SO's military placement? Is the military in a position to help you find a family doctor? Are there any walk-in clinics in your area, that will allow you to get your medications filled as an interim measure? One thing you should do (and you are within your legal rights to do so), is to get a copy of your full medical history from your former doctor. Since you don't have a new doctor, they should give the information directly to you. That way, you'll have it when you do find a new doctor AND you can see whatever the old doctor has noted in your file, which will give you the opportunity to correct any wrong information. [/QUOTE]
